Bryce Harper reportedly wants a $400 million contract and now it sounds like his days with the Nationals are numbered

Nationals superstar outfielder Bryce Harper won't become a free
agent until 2018, but his days in Washington could be numbered
thanks to the $400 million contract Harper is reportedly
seeking.

Citing a "high-ranking Nationals executive",
USA Today's Bob Nightengale on Monday reported that the Nats
have began contract extension talks with Harper, amd are now
preparing for life without him because of how much money he
will seek.

"The Nationals, who had begun preliminary negotiations this
year to retain Harper beyond 2018, believe the chasm in their
talks now have become too great to overcome. While no specific
dollar amount has been broached by high-powered agent Scott
Boras, the executive says Harper is seeking a deal more than 10
years in length, believing it would exceed $400 million."

Harper is just 24, and has already won the National League
MVP. Currently he makes just $6 million per year, though he is
eligible for arbitration this season. Boras, though, rarely lets
his clients sign long-term extensions before they hit free
agency.
